About this event

The Reynolds School of Journalism is bringing two documentaries to campus in honor of Native American Heritage Month.

The first film is award-winning short documentary Not Forgotten by Reynolds School graduate Jeremiah Sampson who will be present for the screening. Sampson is a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and his film, produced at the University, is about missing and murdered indigenous people.

The feature film of the night will be Remaining Native. Remaining Native is a coming-of-age documentary told from the perspective of Ku Stevens, a 17-year-old Native American runner from Yerington, Nevada, struggling to navigate his dream of becoming a collegiate athlete as the memory of his great-grandfather's escape from an Indian boarding school begins to connect past, present, and future. Filmmaker Paige Bethmann is a Haudenosaunee woman (Mohawk/Oneida) and based in Reno.
